Simple. Just make one with 30 miles of range!

My guess is they didn’t want to go there and they just wanted an interesting dystopian location for their cat to exist.

but not all depictions of non-white people have to automatically be political.

Generators already fill that mission already and they are serviceable and plenty available. Diesel/JP8 has all logistics figured out too.
Batteries are heavy, dangerous in combat and require ton of power to recharge.
Electric Cars are complicated and not easily field repairable.
Solar panels won’t cut it. 
I still…

Shooting and killing things doesn’t have to be part of something being a video game

I legit don’t think Bandai ever makes any models with glue, Gundam or otherwise. I’m pretty sure even their ultra-expensive 1/60 Perfect Grade kits are all snap-together. Though I usually stick with 1/144 High Grade (with a handful of 1/100 Master Grade and 1/144 Real Grade).

Set up a camera. 152'-6" Canopener footage.

Counterpoint: no. When neo-Nazis go underground, that just lets them escape culpability for all the harm they caused. If he wants redemption, he can loudly and publicly denounce the movement he once led. He can fight, like a number of ex-neo-Nazis have, to destroy the organizations he previously supported. He isn’t…

No mention of one of the top-tier replies in the comments of the twitter post?

Fucking whatever, just go ahead and shoot this dumb shit straight into my veins. I’ve already tried to get out and I can’t stop myself, so lets see where this train wreck of a franchise ends up at.

This lands squarely in the Uncanny Valley for me. It looks kind of like a Mazda, but not totally. That’s obviously what it’s supposed to be, but it’s... off. Something essential is missing. Details are exchanged, in malevolent alien naïveté, with awkward imitations. It’s instinctively repellent, yet hard to look…

You’re one of two people in this entire comment section that is blatantly okay with this horseshit “article”. Maybe step back and realize if you and one or two other people are trying to “call out” an entire comment section, maybe you’re the one with the bad take? This isn’t appropriation, this is major league, cringe…

it’s these kinds of bad faith takes, that the right are using to discredit/shame/ruin positive forces of good, such as the allies within critical role.

they have constantly listened to both queer and poc audiences. they have tried to bring on more diverse voices onto their show. At their core though they were just a…

That’s the Kobiyashi Maru of this.  Do it like they did?  Problematic as laid out.  Do it like you said?  Appropriation.  Don’t do it at all?  Erasure.  There is no winning move here.

I actually came down to the comments thread to say something like this, or at least related to it. Just browsing Kotaku’s front page is like seeing how angry you should be about this and that. “People are arguing about Pokemon visuals.” “Critical Role essentially has the same cast it always does...” “The Inventory…

You said it yourself - this might be a cynical, bad faith interpretation. That right there is an admission that you know there’s probably a perfectly reasonable counter-argument that you conveniently omitted from your article in an effort to steer the narrative one way: the click generating, socially inflaming way.

I understand people’s reticence to this, especially if you belong to the cultures this particular fantasy-inspired campaign exists in, but if your example boils down to them wearing some costumes in a silly promo piece that explorers used to wear, then that’s... not a lot.

So no matter how sensitive or respectful they might be, white people should never explore anything outside of their own culture and heritage? It is WILD how the far left is swinging all the way back around to the idea that segregation might be a good idea

This crap makes me wish D&D would go back to being something we all just kinda did in secret with our friends and the greater population shunned it.
